Kai Piha: Ka‘ahele Ma WaikīkīThursday, October 21 at 8:30 pm

Did you know that Waikīkī is actually a bay? Do you know how popular surf spots there got their names? Or that members of the Hawaiian Monarchy charged waves both on surfboards and in canoes?

The film Kai Piha: Ka‘ahele Ma Waikīkī takes viewers on a tour of Waikīkī. Filmmaker Ann Marie Kirk says while Waikīkī is known worldwide for its beauty and its

surf, “What’s not so well known is the story of the history of surfing there and the history of our kūpuna and our ali‘i who lived there and who loved Waikīkī just as much as so many of us do today.”

Navigating this journey is waterman, historian and author John Clark, who calls Waikīkī “an amphitheater of surfing.” He goes through the genealogy of six types

of Hawaiian surfing and how the sport’s popularity swelled around the globe.

While the film looks back, surfing is still making history today. “Here we are in 2021 with surfing in the Olympics and the women’s gold medal won by Hawaiian Carissa Moore,” says Kirk.

Our hearts are filled with sorrow of the passing of our dear friend and partner, Leanne Ferrer of Pacific Islanders in Communications. The community, our industry, the PBS system and the world as a whole have lost an incredible human being.

Leanne was always full of life, lighting up a room with her stunning smile and warm personality. She was not only a wonderful friend to our station, but also to many of us who forged

personal friendships with her.

The Pacific Heartbeat series was developed in partnership with her, and Leanne’s leadership and vision helped to build a community of Hawai‘i and Pacific Islander filmmakers that allowed their work to be seen and their voices to be heard.

Leanne was one-of-a-kind, and she will truly be missed. Fly deep and high with angels, our friend.

Mark Yamanaka can list many titles on his résumé. He’s a singer, songwriter, multiple Nā Hōkū Hanohano award winner and a car salesman. In addition to his success in the Hawaiian music industry, Yamanaka has worked for Aiona Car Sales in Hilo for more than a decade. He says he’s thankful for the opportunity to be employed, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Everything I had, as far as performances, got cancelled or postponed, so I was really fortunate to have that day job ... I’m very grateful for the Aiona family.”

Yamanaka’s soothing yet powerful falsetto voice pairs beautifully with

traditional Hawaiian music which he calls his niche. But the Hilo boy also loves country music and would like to record a reggae song one day. He says, “I would consider Hilo a real country town, very low-key like a grassroots style. So, I keep it broad … to really connect with the audience ... It’s nice to be able to perform various types of music genres.”

Despite his dedication, it’s family before music for Yamanaka. That was evident in 2019 when he skipped the Nā Hōkū Hanohano awards to attend his son’s high school graduation. “My family is important to me because through all the ups and downs, the wrongs and

rights, they’re going to be there for you,” says Yamanaka. He ended up sweeping the Hokus that night, winning five awards including Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year.

Whether it’s love for his family or for his hometown, Yamanaka takes nothing for granted. During the downtime of the pandemic, he only wrote one new song that he will perform in this episode of Nā Mele. He says “Livin’ a Dream” was “inspired by my life as far as what I should be grateful for and the things that I am grateful for.”

ALMA’S WAYWeekdays at 5:30 am and 12:30 pm beginning October 4

This engaging, modern-day series stars 6-year-old Alma Rivera, a proud, confident Puerto Rican girl, who lives in New York City with her parents and younger brother, Junior, as well as a diverse group of close-knit and loving friends, family and community members. Created by Sonia Manzano (Maria on Sesame Street), the program encourages children ages 4-6 to find their own answers to their problems, express what they think and feel and recognize and respect the unique perspective of others.

Tuesday, October 26 at 7:30 pm: How-To and Student Reflection Category WinnersTuesday, November 2 at 7:30 pm: Traditional Story Category Winners

This month sees the return of new episodes of HIKI NŌ and the premiere of the first-ever HIKI NŌ Triple Crown of Storytelling. Prior HIKI NŌ challenge competitions have centered solely around traditional news features based on a prompt or theme announced at the start of a four-day production window. This time, student teams were able to select one of three categories in which to compete: the Traditional Story; the Student Reflection; and the How-To Video. A school could enter a different student team in each of the three categories and conceivably win in all three – capturing the HIKI NŌ Triple Crown of Storytelling.

We all know that children don’t just “watch” TV, they really get involved. They talk to the characters on the screen, they repeat things they hear and they act out what they see. Programs like Curious George, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, Sesame Street and Nature Cat offer a safe place for all children to learn and grow, giving them a head-start on their journey to life-long learning. If your child or grandchild watches PBS Hawai‘i, you already share with us two very valuable things: your child’s time and your trust.
